Advanced Options This menu allows you to set up advanced calibration options used for special purposes (Fig. Optimize for Accuracy or for Speed Blue eye pro offers you the possibility to adjust the calibration process according to your preference for Accuracy or Speed. This ensures the most precise color matching. Checking the Speed option will reduce the number of color patches measured and the number of optimization rounds the software performs, and will shorten the calibration process by approximately 30%. Blackpoint Adjustment Setting You may elect to increase the luminance of the color black. This can be useful to obtain a realistic rendering of your document in situations where you know that the paper and inks used when ultimately printing it may not allow a full black. To increase the luminance of black, adjust the blackpoint slider to your desired value. This setting will be automatically taken into consideration when calibrating your monitor. 5. 4. 3. Chromatic Adaptation Setting Some constraints in your color chain may force you to use a monitor White Point other than D50 (5000° Kelvin) while still targeting D50 paper prints. In this situation, you may perceive a difference between displayed colors and printed colors, due to the Chromatic Adaptation behavior of the human brain. Color scientists have devised methods to correct this impression. Two of these methods are Bradford and von Kries. When one of these methods is selected, the profiling process of LaCie blue eye pro will minimize this impression by slightly adjusting the chromaticity of your monitor. To activate this feature, please select your chosen chromatic adaptation method by clicking on the corresponding radio button of the Advanced Options settings window. 5. 4. 4.
